澳大利亚麦考瑞大学将两门必修心理学课程的传统面授课堂替换为AI聊天机器人"虚拟同伴"、在线小测验和可选在线辅导1。该AI工具旨在通过场景练习指导学生学习1。根据大学数据，虚拟同伴在2025年全年回答了接近80,000个学生问题，2026年上半年已接近这一数量1。
这一举措在学生和教职员工中引发了关切。学生对教学质量表示担忧，而教职员工则对就业前景感到不安1。悉尼大学教职员工计划周三罢工，要求争取AI保护措施1。麦考瑞大学强调该工具是与教育工作者合作设计的，旨在支持而非替代他们，并承诺面授课将在2027年以交替学期形式回归1。根据大学公布的信息，2026年这两门课程每门成本为2,174澳元，三年本科学位总成本将超过50,000澳元1。
Macquarie University in Sydney has replaced in-person classroom instruction with an AI-powered virtual companion for two compulsory psychology subjects, introducing online quizzes and optional tutoring sessions as alternatives 1. The artificial intelligence tool is designed to guide students through scenario-based practice exercises 1. According to the university, in-person classes will return in alternating semesters beginning in 2027 1.
The shift has prompted concerns from students about educational quality and worries among staff about job security. The university maintains that the AI serves as a supplement rather than a replacement for educators, stating the tool was developed in collaboration with teaching staff to support rather than displace them 1. Staff at the University of Sydney have planned strike action for Wednesday to demand protections around artificial intelligence use 1.
The financial impact for students is substantial, with each of the two psychology courses costing 2,174 Australian dollars in 2026, bringing the total cost of a three-year undergraduate degree to over 50,000 Australian dollars 1. The virtual companion fielded nearly 80,000 student questions throughout 2025 and approached similar numbers within the first half of 2026 1.
